So a few people surrounded Yu Daye in the middle and forced a breakout. In the darkness, facing bows and arrows from all directions, everyone could only form a human wall to surround Yu Daye. Yu Daye couldn't help but raise his voice when he saw his former comrades falling one after another. He cried loudly, remembering his father Yuyi's words to persuade him, and seemed very regretful, but it was too late. Sima Yi saw a group of men and horses in the distance, using their bodies as shields, quickly tore a hole in the Wei army's encirclement, and was about to break out. He quickly ordered more troops and horses, and gathered archers.
In this way, Yu Daye and others were faced with more dense bows and arrows, and at the same time, Wei army soldiers and horses came out one after another. Seeing that the soldiers who were protecting them were shot into hedgehogs, they still struggled to hold on. Yu Daye's eyes were red, and his heart was full of hatred, but There was no choice but to finally break through the Wei army's encirclement with the concerted efforts of everyone.
Sima Yi saw that the Shu army was caught in such an ambush and that the soldiers who were covering Yu Daye were so seriously injured but still persisted. He had to praise the will of the Shu army and quickly led the follow-up troops to pursue Yu Daye. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers who had been ambushed for a long time. Sima Zhao and Sima Division behind were preparing to ambush.
Although Yu Daye broke through the siege under the protection, his friends around him were all seriously injured. Seeing Sima Yi's army pursuing him, the last person tried his best to slap the horse's butt and said: "Lord, hurry up!"
Yu Daye sighed, glanced at the man, and left quickly. He soon came to a dense forest. He was about to dismount his horse and take a rest. Suddenly, there were loud shouts from all sides, and two groups of people came out. On the left was the Sima Division. On the right is Sima Zhao, surrounding Yu Daye in the middle.
Yu Daye looked up to the sky and screamed, "Looks like I'm going to end up here today!"
Just when they were desperate, suddenly the Wei army was in chaos, and the encirclement was torn open. The man at the head had a skeleton war horse on his crotch, and a Fangtian snake halberd in his hand. It was already dawn, and it turned out that Yu Yi knew that Yu Daye was raiding the Wei army camp. After the incident, he quickly personally led troops and horses to respond, and happened to encounter Sima Zhao and Sima Shi ambushing him. However, they were definitely no match for Yu Yi, so the encirclement was quickly torn open.
Sima Zhao knew Yu Yi and was horrified. He said to Master Sima: "Brother, the enemy is too brave. Let's leave quickly!" After saying that, he turned his horse's head, swung his whip violently, and left the scene quickly. When Wei Jun saw their coach leaving, they also left one after another.
When Yu Yi saw this, he did not continue to chase. Instead, he came to Yu Daye. Seeing that Yu Daye was not injured, he felt happy. He sent someone to bring a war horse over and comforted him: "It is common for Sheng Bai Lai to be a military strategist. It is not necessary." Take it to heart!”
On the way, Yu Daye was unhappy. Yu Yi tried to find a topic to break the awkward atmosphere several times, but Yu Daye stayed aside. Suddenly, Yu Daye walked to the front of the troops and said: "Father, I have something to say!"
Yu Yi narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, signaling the troops to stop, and said to the generals around him: "Pass my order, everyone rest where you are!" After saying that, he and Yu Daye came to an open place.
Yu Daye was depressed and knelt on the ground, saying, "Father, I regret it very much. If I had listened to your advice earlier, I wouldn't have caused today's disaster."
Yu Yi consoled him: "When I was young, I was just like you. I always wanted to make great contributions. Unfortunately, there are some things that cannot be done by manpower when the weather is not there!"
After hearing this, Yu Daye asked: "Father, I led five thousand soldiers and horses out of the city, and issued a military order before leaving. Now that I have suffered a disastrous defeat, what should I do?"
Yu Yi remained silent. He thought of Zhuge Liang's tearful execution of Ma Su. Now that he was his biological son, could he really do it for the sake of military discipline and swipe the butcher's knife?
Yu Daye seemed to notice his father's doubts and said with a smile: "Father, there is no need to worry too much, I will solve it naturally."
Just as Yu Yi was thinking about how Yu Daye was going to deal with the aftermath, Yu Daye had already walked among the troops. He pulled out a sword from somewhere and pressed it on his neck.
Yuyi hurried over and shouted: "Daye, don't do anything stupid!"
Yu Daye burst into tears suddenly. He had lacked father's love since he was a child, but now he really felt his father's kindness. He calmed down his emotions and said to the crowd: "When I left the city, I had already issued a military order. Now I have been The Wei army surrounded me, and the troops I led suffered heavy casualties. According to military discipline, I will be beheaded. Now my friends have died in order to protect me. I have no face to live in this world anymore." As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yi's flying knife Having already ejaculated, he knew that Yu Daye was preparing to kill himself.
However, Yu Daye seemed to have expected it. He turned to the side and the flying knife hit his chest. He still wiped the long sword to his neck.
Yu Yi stayed there, a little at a loss. For a long time, the military doctor came to report that Yu Daye had expired. Yu Yi suppressed his emotions and ordered: "Collect the prince's body and let's go back to Wancheng!"
It is said that after Sima Zhao and Sima Shi told Sima Yi about Yu Yi's rescue of Yu Daye, Sima Yi only felt it was a pity and suddenly made a detailed report, saying that Yu Daye committed suicide in the army. Sima Yi praised: "I didn't expect Yu Yi's son So dignified.”
So Sima Yi ordered the entire army to prepare and continue to besiege Wancheng.
Yuyi still insisted on the defensive policy, and the Wei army was helpless for a while. On the third day of the siege, suddenly information came from Chang'an, saying that Jiang Wei had led the Shu army to sneak attack the Ziwu Valley and had already arrived in Chang'an. It was almost the same time. At that time, Yu Yi also received the battle report of the Northern Expedition. He immediately opened the video to ask Jiang Wei about the specific situation, and even praised him.
Sima Yi quickly took back the troops and horses besieging Wancheng and summoned everyone to discuss military matters.
Sima Zhao suggested, "Wancheng has formed large-scale defenses and cannot be defeated in a short time. The Northern Expeditionary Army has already attacked Ziwu Valley and is approaching Chang'an. Once Chang'an is lost, Luoyang will be in danger and the country will be endangered." Fundamentally, it is therefore recommended to send some troops to monitor the situation in Wancheng, and other troops to assist in the defense of Chang'an."
Sima Yi nodded, thinking that the current situation could only do this. However, the edict from the new emperor Cao Fang came down. After seeing it, Sima Yi instantly understood what it meant. He just smiled and went home with his two sons.
From then on, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were unable to recover from their illness. Both Sima Shi and Sima Zhao also went home to rest and resigned from their official positions. Cao Shuang was very happy to see Sima Yi handing over his military power so obediently. He believed that the offensive threat from Yu Yi and other Shu troops was a threat. The most important thing was to deal with Sima Yi first. However, Chang'an was in a hurry and had to take precautions, so he sent other troops to defend.
This news was soon reported to Yu Yi in detail. Yu Yi also understood the reason for the sudden retreat of the Wei army. He said to everyone: "After Sima Yi was dismissed, the obstacle to our attack on the Central Plains was removed. We can continue to advance into Luoyang and take advantage of it." In times of civil strife, acquiring more land will not be far behind the great cause of unification."
